IL case studies

Interesting new free article
Irving, C. (2009) "Collecting case studies / exemplars of good practice to enrich The National Information Literacy Framework (Scotland)." Library and Information Research, 33 (105). "This paper discusses the challenges, process and reasons for collecting case studies / exemplars of good practice from practitioners to enrich The National Information Literacy Framework (Scotland). The lessons learned show that there is a tendency for people to think they are not doing anything special and therefore do not respond to emails for exemplars of good practice. They are however once contacted happy to share their practice. It is therefore essential to use networks of contacts, leave plenty of time to talk, visit and work with people on submitting their work as a case study / exemplar. Sharing practice also contributes to professional development both for the individual and their community and to the field of research." http://www.lirg.org.uk/lir/ojs/index.php/lir/article/view/206/271
It talks about the Sharing Practice website I have mentioned before.
